Kankakee Police Chief Larry Regnier said 35-year-old Phillip Horrell is being held on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder pending the filing of formal charges. Investigators did not provide a motive for the attack.

Kankakee County State's Attorney Jamie Boyd said Horrell was paroled Wednesday from Dixon Correctional Center after serving three years of an eight-year term for burglary and other charges.

Regnier said police found Horrell, who was suffering from several stab wounds and is hospitalized, two blocks from the crime scene.
